Great Nobleman

After returning to the library camp and entering his luxurious tent.

Catherine fiddled with the portable space transmission device.

Brand took out the air screen to contact Rias in the royal city behind and shared his experience of the whole day.

At the end, he talked about the content of the combat meeting not long ago.

Liya said:

"According to the intelligence we have obtained in the Royal City.

Because Mr. Brand, you led the Library Mage Corps today to stop the orcs' southward offensive in the north.

The nobles in the Royal City are very excited.

This afternoon, a representative of the northern nobles took the opportunity to propose a plan to abandon the retreat to the Royal City and send more troops to the north to directly block the orcs in the north.

I think the change in the strategic plan of the Kingdom of Mosal against the orcs should start from here."

Hearing this, Brand said helplessly:

"Today's battle situation is indeed very smooth.

But this does not mean that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, we will also be able to block the orcs' southward offensive.

And we went around the battlefield today. The soldiers of the Northern Legion of the Kingdom of Mosal are not only very tired and their morale is very low, but there are also countless wounded soldiers.

In a short period of time, it is difficult for them to recover their full combat effectiveness.

In this bad situation, even if we join, I still Pessimistic about the future. "

After hearing this, after thinking for a while, Rias said:

"I will report the relevant information to the Military Affairs Department Headquarters in a while.

I think Director Jonas should remind the Kingdom of Mosar in the name of the Empire.

The day after tomorrow, our Empire's second batch of reinforcements will also come to the Kingdom of Mosar through the teleportation array to help.

At that time, they should go directly to join Mr. Brand and fight together with the library.

In addition, because we are only here to assist, we are not going to fight to the death for the Kingdom of Mosar.

No matter what decision they make, it has little to do with us.

And after today, the orcs will definitely regard Mr. Brand and the library as the focus of attention.

So Mr. Brand should pay attention to safety on the front line, and it is best not to take high-risk actions. "

Hearing this, Brand nodded and said:

"I will pay special attention to this. "

After ending the call with Rias.

Turning around, I saw Sister Celine, who came over using the teleportation array, fiddling with a bunch of small boxes.

Sensing his gaze, Celine explained with a smile:

"These are elf cakes baked by Heidilin and some members of the library. Ivy and Chris made snack jams together. Little Kaiya also made some dried fish. There are also some fresh berries from the underground medicine garden.

They are the gifts that the people who stayed behind in Morning Flower Castle asked me to bring today."

Hearing this, Brand walked over curiously, opened a box of cakes and tasted them, and finally commented:

"It really tastes like the Elf Forest. Heidilin's craftsmanship is good!"

At this time, the half-closed tent door was opened.

Catherine and the library members walked in, talking and laughing.

-Obviously, these gifts are not just for him.

...

After a night's rest in [Steel Shield Castle], the fatigue accumulated yesterday was basically restored.

Early in the morning, just after walking out of the tent, Brand saw the library members walking around in groups of three or two.

After washing up.

Catherine walked over with a piece of intelligence and said:

"Master, this is the intelligence sent by the Northern Army Command this morning.

After yesterday evening, the orc armies moved their bases to the north for a long distance.

As of this morning, although they have carried out a certain degree of troop mobilization, there is no sign of attacking southward for the time being.

If the orcs are not going to attack today, the Northern Army will take this opportunity to build more fortifications and consolidate the existing defenses.

In addition, scouts will be sent out to explore more detailed enemy and friendly intelligence."

After looking through the intelligence for a while, Brand said:

"After days of defeat and withdrawal, the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Mosal should indeed take this opportunity to consolidate its defenses and improve its damaged intelligence network.

As for the orc army, I think they should also slow down their offensive rhythm.

The speed of their southward movement is too fast, which obviously leaves many hidden dangers.

We can focus on observing it today.

Anyway, there are no Titan orcs with a tendency to speed at present, and it is difficult for other orc warriors to catch up with us."

Although Brand had a beautiful idea.

But just after breakfast, when everyone was ready to leave.

The defenders of [Steel Shield Fort] suddenly blew the warning horn!

Soon, a short-range communication spell connected to their location.

Brand also learned a somewhat troublesome situation:

Thirty orc warriors appeared in the north of [Steel Shield Fort]!

He quickly came to the high wall in the north of the fort with a group of library members.

I saw a small conspicuous open space in the distance to the north, where a small group of orcs were setting up tents.

Based on the generally tall and burly stature of these orcs, Brand easily knew that the other party was extraordinary.

When he opened the Eye of Insight, the scarlet extraordinary power contained in the other party was revealed without concealment!

——In addition to the twenty-six big orcs, there are four Titan orcs!

Orc warriors of this strength gathered near the fortress.

Even though they didn’t seem to have any intention of attacking, they still attracted the attention of the fortress defenders.

In contrast, the members of the library looked relaxed:

"What are they trying to do by setting up tents? And they are making a fire, are they preparing breakfast?"

"The big orc on the right is skewering meat, I think he is preparing to grill it.

But it looks so greasy, I don't know if they have prepared any seasoning."

"Come on!

As far as I know, the food of the orcs is mostly edible.

Even the food of the orcs is not much better.

Some adventure travel notes say:

The vast majority of orcs are not interested in food at all!"

While they were discussing, the old marshal of the Northern Army came over quickly with several officers, and then said to Brand:

"Sir Brand, our knights are ready, and the army has basically assembled and can participate in the battle at any time."

Hearing this, Brand responded:

"Our library mage group can also fight at any time.

But according to the current situation, those orcs outside do not seem to be ready to attack."

Following Brand's gaze, he looked outside the fortress.

After seeing the scene of a group of orcs grilling leisurely,

The old marshal gradually became thoughtful.

Then, he carefully asked:

"I wonder how many Titan orcs Mr. Brand and the Library Mage Corps can contain?

If we go out to fight, our Knights, together with the defenders and war weapons of the [Steel Shield Castle], should be able to barely suppress one Titan orc, plus a small number of powerful orcs."
